Formerly with Safmarine, a unit of Maersk Line, Christopher Jones has joined Metro Group Maritime.  Mr. Jones has spent the last decade working in the steamship industry. He brings industry-specific knowledge from his last three positions held during the last 10 years: Accounts Receivables Specialist, Account Manager, and Customer Relations Specialist.  “Chris will be a good fit for the team because of his knowledge and understanding of the shipping industry. He has the ability to go above and beyond with his collection efforts and gets to know his customers and their needs. He works very well with others and has a great attitude. I am very pleased he is here working with us,” said Cindy Brown, a manager at Metro Group Maritime.  “These roles have educated me and given me first hand experience with finance, sales support, and customer service. However, ultimately, these roles have taught me how to service my clients ranging from booking cargo on vessels to following up on payment status on cargo which has arrived at final discharge. I really enjoy the industry as a whole and what I have come to find out, is the more you understand the full process, the better you are able to help the client,” said Mr. Jones.  Metro Group Maritime, headquartered in New York City, is a commercial receivable management, debt recovery and consulting company focused on the maritime and transportation industry.
